Activity Holidays in Wales

Overview

Ancient and dignified with an air of wilderness and beauty, it’s easy to see why Wales has been a popular activity holiday destination for both history-lovers and outdoor thrillseekers over the years. Majestic castles perched above rolling green hills and spectacular coastline of wild, windswept beaches and wave-battered cliffs. 

Whether you’re looking for the rugged coastline of Pembrokeshire or the mountainous peaks of Snowdonia, Wales has it all. With the most castles per square mile in the world, Wales is busting out its seams with character. You might choose to spend your time hiking the narrow ridges and dramatic valleys or hurtling through the Brecon Beacons on a mountain bike.

Our experiences and activity holidays in Wales will provide you with the best combination of culture and fun that this small but mighty country has to offer. Experience a Wales that lies off the beaten track and you’ll soon find enriching experiences that help to create an unforgettable trip.

    What our travellers are saying...

    Amazing weekend. Amy is a truly inspirational yoga teacher. Lake and sea swims were awesome. The food was so good. Highly recommend this retreat.

    Pat A

    Feeling fabulous today for the first time in a long time all thanks to a weekend away with The Zest Life. A huge thank you to Kate and the Wild Swim team for an awesome sensory reboot.

    Lou B

    Such a wonderful and relaxing stay. The attention to detail of the treehouse was amazing. The total thought to the surroundings and environment was outstanding. Totally appreciated the maps for the hiking trails and also the adventure day trip and also the gift of the print of the treehouse was the icing on the cake. Definitely will return.

    Alison

    Our break away was just magical, the treehouse was lovely with a fantastic decking area next to the stream. The hot tub was great and the outdoor shower was lovely. We had a rope swing and a hammock. You really do not need to go off site,so much to do or just relax and do nothing. The walk from the car park is a effort so pack light. Its a holiday where you really do have quality time and just perfect to create memories with family. Just perfect

    A fantastic and different experience. The treehouses are so secluded and beautiful that you really feel like you are connecting back with nature. The views are amazing and the hot tub was a welcome sight after a day of walking in the mountains. A real treat for families or couples alike, we will certainly be heading back.

    Having just returned from the treehouse retreat (we stayed in Lofty), I felt compelled to give a review as both the experience and hosts were great. Upon arrival we took the short walk to our treehouse, over a wobbly bridge and up into the trees. The treehouse itself was very cosy with a double bed, bunk beds and a kitchen/lounge area as well as an outside terrace, plenty of room for the 4 of us. We had a fabulous weekend of walking, toasting mar

    Amazing weekend! Magnificent yoga with the Wonderful Claire in the most beautiful of settings. Everyone so friendly and welcoming, food was also outstanding. The hidden Gardens are just a big bonus and the SUP was an experience I can’t wait to do again. The whole package was brilliant and one I’m sure my daughter and I will be repeating soon!

    Joanne P

    What an amazing weekend. Pure Yoga retreat was full of warmth, fun, learning, amazing food and wonderful people. The depth of knowledge delivered by Claire and Kate in all aspects of the yoga tradition was perfect and delivered in such a way as to be very accessible. Outstanding food by Michelle and all contained within the most serene location. Will be booking again...

    Top tips for visiting Wales

    Croeso i Gymru: That’s ‘Welcome to Wales’. Although most of the population speak English, many keep the Welsh language alive and they are immensely proud of it.

    Climb a mountain: Mount Snowdon is the highest peak in Wales and one of the top hikes in the UK. With the summit at 1,085m, the views are spectacular.

    Money talks: Most places in Wales are off the beaten track or in remote areas so it’s best not to assume everywhere takes card. Make sure you have cash on you.

    King for a day: With more than 600 castles across Wales it would be criminal not to visit one. There are more here per square mile than anywhere else in the world.
